Supplements for fatigue... that could mean a book in itself. A few that come to mind are the B vitamins, SAM-e or TMG plus B12, l-tyrosine, l-phenylalanine. If you're taking any medications then obviously you'd need to look into what can or can't take with them. If you have CFS, there are some good books on supplements for it such as those by Dr. Teitlebaum and Dr. Jay Goldstein.
